Vol 5 Chapter 249: Public and private

Yun Fenghuang dealt with some palace affairs again, instructed to appease the front harem and purge the palace. At this time, the dusk was deep, Chi E was holding a cup of bird's nest porridge, and after waiting for her to use it, he whispered and persuaded: "The lady is busy. After this for a long time, hurry up and settle."
"..." Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, but slowly put down his spoon, and said, "How about Xingxintang?"
This is the top priority now, and Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion can no longer be busy here, and it is impossible for the Qing people and others to ignore the situation there.
At this moment, Chi E said: "If you return to Niang Niang, Chen Zhu personally ran away just now, saying that Father Jiang Lan and Father Ning Guo were still guarding the outside, saying that His Majesty never woke up, but the doctor went in and changed the medicine. , Saying that your Majesty will not wake up tonight, so it must be clear."
Then he said, "The empress dowager just went to see it for a while, originally she wanted to stay in Xingxintang herself, but she was persuaded by Father Jiang Lan to leave..."
Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while before he sighed and said, "I know, settle it."
Few people fell asleep inside and outside the palace this night.
The next day Yun Fenghuang got up, and the dark blue under his eyes was lingering. After he was refreshed, he went to Xingxintang before the emperor's heirs came to ask for peace.
It happened that she went, and the emperor woke up when she was still outside.
The queen entered with the important ministers and close servants. The emperor lost consciousness after holding on to the overall situation yesterday. When he woke up at this moment, he naturally did not care about other things. First asked the overall situation and learned that everything was fine, although Wang Mao et al. After receiving the news, the traitor immediately took the opportunity to dispatch troops and even publicized rumors that Chunjia had already been punishable and that he was no more than a puppet. However, under the joint defense of Ning Guogong and Yi Guogong, he stabilized his position. Too bad.
It's just that you don't know what to do, and indeed some people are panicked and morale is low.
Chunjia asked the details, her expression remained unchanged, and only said, "I know."
Then I asked about the loss of the court officials.
The sudden assassination at the banquet yesterday was originally organized by the imperial court to show that it was calm and unpredictable, but it turned out to be a laughing stock for the people of the world, and even witnessed the imperial court’s weakness and the emperor’s inadequate control.
In this case, public opinion is naturally unfavorable.
Fortunately, courtiers suffered little losses. Except for four or five officials who were killed in the chaos, more than a dozen were injured, most of them were slightly injured, and a few were seriously injured. They were not irreplaceable, Gahn. Just soothe it, that's it.
"Your Majesty, Qi Jiuzhang and other soldiers of the North Army responded quickly at the banquet yesterday." Ning Guogong asked Qi Jiuzhang and others for credit at this moment and said, "The ministers depended on their bravery to save their lives."
Chunjia said, "I wrote it down."
I also asked if there are any other officials who have also made great contributions in this shocking change, and need to immediately increase their grace to show the royal benevolence, and at the same time suppress those rumours that the court does not want to hear?
Ning Guogong stopped talking and glanced at Yun Fenghuang.
Yun Fenghuang understood what he meant, stepped forward and blessed, and said with a sad voice: "Your Majesty forgive me. Yesterday, in the palace, the army was in turmoil. The concubine is a perfect one to make Zhaoqing, Junyi, and the emperor heirs other than the 19th prince All dressed in disguise, accompanied by palace officials, scattered out of the palace to avoid danger. Who knew that King Jin was assassinated in the middle, and the son of Yiguo died on the spot to save him... This is the only son of the father of Yiguo, and also the son of the Yun family, concubine. ..."
"I see." The emperor sighed. If the ordinary courtier died to save the emperor's heir, it would be fine. After all, to say something bad, for the royal family, this is the duty of a courtier.
But the son of Yiguo...
No, it should be said that the grievances and grievances between Yiguo Gongfu and the queen are hard to say.
Now that Yun Qike died to save King Jin, the mood of the Prince Yiguo was very complicated.
As the father of King Jin, the emperor had to deal with the aftermath.
The Queen couldn't do this matter. After all, Yun Fenghuang himself could not have a peaceful dialogue with the Prince Yiguo.
Only the emperor can come to Yuanchang.
Fortunately, Duke Yi was always loyal. Chunjia thought about it, and said, "Let’s discuss with the Ministry of Etiquette first, so that Duke Yi’s son will enjoy the grief and glory. I remember that he has a young son under his knees, so he will inherit the lord of Duke Yi. After I have recovered, I will be rewarded again."
Ning Guogong hurriedly knelt down: "Please take care of your body as your majesty. Duke Yi Guo is a veteran and has always been sympathetic. If he knows that his majesty is hurt, he still has to plan for his descendants, I am afraid that he will be frightened instead."
Having said some state affairs in this way, it was Yun Fenghuang's turn to report the situation in the harem.
Compared with the previous dynasty, although there were losses but still under control, the monarchs and ministers were calmer, and the harem suffered a great loss.
Except for the emperor's heirs, they are generally safe, and the casualties of the concubines can be described as horrible.
The concubine, who was not deliberately protected at the banquet, basically had no chance of surviving in the chaotic situation of yesterday. Moreover, the list of casualties now includes Jing Jieyu and Yi Xingen who had escaped from the palace.
At this time, I saw that the emperor's heart was coming. Facing this list of heavy casualties, the emperor didn't blink his eyes, only saying that these aftermaths should be handed over to the queen.
As for the emperor's heir, Chunjia did not ask carefully, confirming that Zhaoqing, Wei Wang, Yan Wang, Zhen Wang, Kang An and other beloved children are safe, and he is not worried.
just……
Chunjia finally asked, "Where is the prince? Is the prince busy now?"
Jiang Lan and Ning Guogong watched their noses and noses, not daring to speak.
auzw.com Yun Fenghuang wanted to say something but stopped, and finally he held the Yuta, slowly fell to his knees, and said: "In response to your majesty, the concubine is incompetent. The prince was assassinated in the palace yesterday. Although the concubine was close at hand, she could not save him."
"..." Chunjia fell silent for a moment.
The needles can be heard quietly in the room. Whether it is Jiang Lan or Ning Guogong, they are trying their best to regard themselves as a statue.
And Yun Fenghuang's heart is also heavy.
She knew that the most suspicious thing about the death of the prince was herself.
After all, even if the scene was chaotic yesterday, if the emperor's heir suffered as much as the concubine, the death of the prince was mixed in, but it was not abrupt.
However, all the emperor's heirs were fine, including a few young children, but the prince whom the emperor most admired and valued died, or died in front of the queen. Who can believe that the prince is purely fate?
Yun Fenghuang was full of miscellaneous feelings in his heart. If she really did this thing, she would have recognized it, but it was not!
In addition, the injury in front of Chunjia was done to save her. She had always changed, so she didn't know what to put on her face at this moment?
After a long time, the emperor closed his eyes and rested for a while, and then slowly said: "The prince's funeral will also be discussed by the Ministry of Rites."
Ning Guogong and Jiang Lan cautiously said yes.
The emperor said: "Everyone else will go down, and I will say a few words to the queen."
"Yes." The rest quit tremblingly, leaving the emperor and queen alone.
The quiet inner room was silent for a while.
After a while, the emperor was still a little tired and took the lead: "You didn't do it?"
"...No." Yun Fenghuang said in a low voice with his long eyelashes hanging down, "Although he did move about the idea that the prince would be in this assassination, it was not easy to do it under the eyes of everyone, and the people in front of him suddenly turned back. , The concubine body was also taken aback. It was also for this reason that later in Zezhi Tower, the concubine body asked people to arrange for the emperor's heirs to flee. After all, the situation was urgent at the time, and it was impossible to confirm that the people in front of the emperor's heirs were reliable. , I am worried that if we gather together, the consequences will be disastrous. If we go away separately, even if some of them are damaged, the others can be preserved."
Chunjia gave an "um" and said, "Let Jiang Lan investigate this matter, and you will assist Ning Guogong and them to preside over the overall situation."
Yun Fenghuang said "yes" in a low voice.
The two were silent for a while. Seeing that the emperor didn't mean to say anything else, she hesitated for a moment. After all, she didn't hold back, and whispered: "Why is this your Majesty?"
"What?" Chunjia closed her eyes and was thinking about things. He didn't react at first when he heard the words. At the end, he said slightly, "I didn't think much about it at the time, I just didn't want you to have an accident..."
He wrote lightly, "I didn't regret it when I came back to my senses later. After all, in this situation, I am the least able to go wrong."
"...The concubine just feels that she is not worth it." Yun Fenghuang smiled bitterly, this is her true heart, anyway, if she and Chunjia were in a different place, she would never do such a thing.
Why don’t you love Jiangshan and beauties, and there will be no beauties if you have Jiangshan?
Chunjia didn't comfort that the queen was worth it, but said slowly: "At that time, who has the time to think that it is worth it or not? It's just impulsive. If I do it again, I might not do the same thing."
This is also the true word of the emperor. He has always clearly distinguished between public and private. For more than ten years, he has loved Yun Fenghuang. The prince still established his own admiration, and the heirs of the emperors were the most able to provoke the burden of the Gongxiang family's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Gongxiangbing.
Isn't he not sure how much protection he gave Yun Fenghuang's mother and son during his lifetime, once Gong Xiangbing took the position, once the prince didn't want Yun Fenghuang to be good, wouldn't Yun Fenghuang's mother and son even think of a good end?
Of course he knows!
But as Yun Fenghuang thought before, in Chunjia's eyes, the responsibility required by the emperor's identity is the most important.
This world was not brought down by him, and even if it weren't for a coincidence, this emperor wouldn't be able to reach him.
Therefore, he certainly needed to be conscientious when he was reigning, and he had to be considerate when inheriting the throne, and plan for the generations of the Gongxiang clan.
Instead of disregarding Gongxiang's foundation according to his own personal preferences.
It's just that who can be ruthless?
Seeing that the queen's life was at stake, he was impulsive after all.
At that time, he really didn't think too much, his body was faster than his mind.
If there is time for him to think about it slowly, he really can't guarantee that he will choose to protect himself.
After all, there are too many people and things tied to him in this world.
He is not only Yun Fenghuang.
He is also not qualified to have only Yun Fenghuang.
The emperor's body is the people, and it is related to the safety of the world... Only when you really sit in this seat, you can realize the weight of this sentence.
